Meat, fish and eggs are all good sources of protein - essential for growth and repair of the body. This food groups should account for slightly less than one sixth of our total consumption. Meat is also a good source of minerals such as iron, zinc and B vitamins. Fish supplies an abundance of protein as well as containing many vitamins and minerals.

Learn to Love Your Fruit and Vegetables
